About the Album: Lakeshore Records will release the DEAR DUMB DIARY – Original Television Soundtrack digitally on September 10th and on CD October 1, 2013. Emily Alyn Lind enrolls in Mackerel Middle School to portray Jamie Kelly – the diary keeper of Jim Benton’s beloved books-turned-Hallmark Channel movie. Lind performs seven original songs for the soundtrack including, “Dear Dumb Diary,” “My Awesomeness is Awesome,” and “Dear Future Jamie,” a cover of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi,” and the new single, “Same Girl.” The album also features a Karaoke mix of the title track.
The filmmakers collaborated with several Grammy nominated and platinum-selling songwriters and producers to create music that pops out of the pages of Jamie’s diary. .Award-winning music supervisors Bonnie Greenberg and Christy Gerhart tapped some of the top working songwriters and producers to execute the collective vision. “Dear Dumb Diary” and “May the Dumb Be With You” were penned and produced by Rick Chertoff -- a five-time Grammy-nominated producer responsible for such hits as Joan Osborne's “One of Us”, Cyndi Lauper's “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and “Time After Time” and Sophie B. Hawkins' “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover.” These songs along with "My Awesomeness is Awesome," "Just a Number," "Meatloaf Mystery" (performed by award winning actress and Warner Recording artist Lea DeLaria) and "Perfect People of the World" transport us into Jamie’s imagination where we see everything through her artistic eyes and anything can happen.
Leah Andreone performs on the 80s flashback song “Love is Everything.” Together with her partner Kevin Fisher, they have earned gold and platinum records and Top 40 hits with multi-platinum selling artists such as Rascal Flatts, Sara Evans, Leah Andreone, Uncle Kracker, and others. Their songs have appeared on television in shows including True Blood, So You Think You Can Dance, Nashville, and Pretty Little Liars.
